Parkside Elementary School

Q: Is Parkside Elementary School a good school?

Parkside Elementary School ranks 907 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Parkside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Coral Springs, Florida, serving 776 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

Parkside Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (42.78%) and African American (29.12%) students compared to nearby schools like Westchester Elementary and Country Hills Elementary, which consistently outperform Parkside in test scores and overall school rankings. Parkside's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the Broward County and Florida averages, with stronger performance in Math than English Language Arts. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.69% to 63.02% over the past three years.

One concerning trend at Parkside Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2019-2020 to 32.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,270 in 2022-2023) and lower student-teacher ratio (16.6 in 2022-2023), the academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of funding and resources, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student outcomes. By addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and implementing targeted strategies to improve English Language Arts performance, Parkside Elementary could enhance its academic outcomes and better support the educational needs of its diverse student community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
